Our Response To COVID-19
We are open for business and ready to serve your plumbing, electrical & air conditioning needs.
Our team is committed to your family’s safety and health, here is what we are doing to help in that regard. To start with, we monitor our own health, if one of our employees feels ill, they will see a doctor or clinic. When our team comes to your home they glove up, put on shoe covers, if you request, they will wear a mask.
All of our trucks are equipped with spray disinfectant, protective covers for areas when we are in your home for any length of time, each tech keeps his own set of tools and will disinfect them after each visit.
We have set in place a Covid-19 protocol. Before we come to your home, we send you an email listing some things you as the homeowner can do to limit (or in some cases eliminate) the need for us to come into the home. While it is not possible to cover all applications, there are many situations where with your help we can do a tuneup or maintenance, even some repairs, from outside the home. We have stopped shaking hands with a no contact policy is in place. We will try to stay 1.5m away from customers at all times.
Today, communication is vital to our business, please let us know if anyone in the home has been exposed and is under quarantine, or if they are under a doctor’s care for the virus. We will take special care to work with those situations.
On another note, we would be remiss if we did not mention the fact that we do other solutions to indoor air quality issues. We have filters that can take out over 99% of airborne particles, UV lights that can help destroy viruses, air sterilisers to eradicate germs that are found in homes, similar to hand sanitisers we are now using daily. Can these products and systems eliminate the Covid-19 Virus completely? Only if you live in a petri dish in a lab. But they can certainly help and go a long way to set up a healthy home. Just to be clear, we have offered and sold these products for over a decade. We have a limited inventory that we are offering at pre-corona virus pricing.

How long do power surges last?
Most power surges attacks are extremely fast and only last milliseconds. Power surges are caused by lightning strikes, grid failures and power generation cross overs. If your home, a nearby power pole or substation is hit by lightning, there will be lots of electricity that needs to go somewhere.
Surge protection stops that energy from running though your wiring and causing damage to your appliances, computers and electronics.
Individual surge protectors versus whole-house surge protectors
Individual surge protectors work by absorbing power surges instead of passing them onto the valuable electronics attached to it. Individual surge protectors normally have a limited capacity, high clamping voltage and slow response time which means a large spike will knock them out.
This information is frequently missing from technical specifications. Even worse many will continue to operate as unprotected powerboards once they have hit capacity, leaving you unprotected.
Whole house surge protectors are installed in your switchboard near the main switch, they have a high diverting capacity, protect everything in your home and come with a clear end of life indicator.
It is best practice to use both whole-house surge protector, earthing stake and individual surge protectors. Using individual surge protectors on your most sensitive electrical equipment will prevent mini surges in your home from fridges and air conditioners from spreading.
Why do you need an earthing stake?
Surge protectors focus on diverting power surges instead of absorbing them. It is highly recommended that you install an earthing stake to make the most of the whole house surge protectors diverting power.
A whole-house surge protector works by redirecting a power surge to earth. If there is insufficient grounding, the metal oxide varistor in the surge protector will take a flogging and burn out.
The surge protector protects your electronics and the earth stake protects the surge protector.
How much does surge protection cost?
Every job is different, but we’ll always give you our best possible price. We believe in total honesty, transparent, upfront pricing. Before we start any work, you’ll have the chance to approve a fixed quote. This price won’t change, it’s the exact amount you’ll pay when we finish.
We also offer Openpay, a system which lets you split the cost of your surge protection into interest-free affordable weekly or monthly instalments.
